This reference material familiarizes college and university students with authentic 19th century French literature. Published in 1885, Maupassant’s “Bel-ami” is a novel in which the reader is constantly drawn by the visual appeal of the colourful descriptions. By drawing attention to the sensorial quality of Maupassant’s prose and his character portrayal, the article introduces learners to the cultural context of the novel.Although the novel can be read as the story about the advance of a mediocre man to social and political prominence, this paper will show that Maupassant uses a dual-voiced discourse and juxtaposes a recognizable 19th century Paris and his protagonist’s sexual exploits in order to call attention to the duplicity of the Parisian society during Belle-époque.

'This handbook is a very important practical tool for journalists and it is of particular importance to investigative reporters. For the first time journalists are now aware that virtually every electronic communication we make or receive is being recorded, stored and subject to analysis and action. As this surveillance is being conducted in secret, without scrutiny, transparency or any realistic form of accountability, our sources, our stories and our professional work itself is under threat.Journalists were dismayed by the realisation that almost all digital communications are now being recorded; for them and their sources there are real risks and now danger in their work. This danger does not just worry reporters, whistleblowers and other sources, but all those who hear privileged information and whose privacy is considered fundamental to the courts, the practice of law, and justice in all of its meanings. Lawyers and accountants and their clients are now without the protection of client confidentiality, and are vulnerable to the secret surveillance of an increasingly authoritarian and unaccountable state.After knowing how Snowden’s disclosures were safely presented to the public, we know that there are real safeguards and counter measures available. The CIJ’s latest handbook, Information Security for Journalists, lays out the most effective means of keeping your work private and safe from spying. It explains how to write safely, how to think about security and how to safely receive, store and send information that a government or powerful corporation may be keen for you not to know, to have or to share. To ensure your privacy and the safety of your sources, Information Security for Journalists will help you to make your communications indecipherable, untraceable and anonymous.When planning work that must remain private and confidential it is important to carefully assess the level of threat that may be associated with it. Shop floor maintenance, building site health and safety, restaurant hygiene, and hospital cleaning may be areas where the precautions and methods described here are unnecessary or might act to complicate and slow down your work. In these cases a phone call made or received away from work or home to a source or a reporter, may ensure sufficient protection at least in making an initial contact.People working or reporting on national security, the military, intelligence, nuclear affairs, or at high levels of the state and in major corporations should probably consider this handbook as very important to their safety.Although this handbook is largely about how to use your computer, you don’t need to have a computer science degree to use it. Its authors, and other experts advising on the project have worked to ensure its practical accuracy and usability. The authors expect that after six months, updates and some changes will be required.'

Philip Meyer is the Knight Chair in Journalism in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He wrote in the Preface to this book,...'the digital age has brought forth a cornucopia of new tools. Trying to teach journalism is frustrating when neither faculty nor students can predict which of the new technical tools will be useful, what kind of specialists will be needed to use them, and how those specialties will be managed.And yet, management skills might be the key to the future. As technology begets specialization, we will need skilled managers to direct the output of all those specialized tasks toward a coherent whole. The old adage, “A good reporter is good anywhere,” is no longer so convincing. We need good reporters who can bring appropriate tools to bear on constantly changing situations. In this environment, journalists who can do more than one thing well will be in demand. Economics and deadline pressures will ensure it.Mark Briggs is the assistant managing editor for interactive news at the Tacoma News Tribune. In that job, he can see the problem up close. Although he holds two journalism degrees, the most recent in 2000, he had to educate himself to use the current tools of digital media. He quickly saw that his job would be easier if more of the paper’s staff had workable knowledge of more of the tools.And so he wrote this book. You can use it like a cookbook. There are recipes, up-to-date, for all kinds of things digital. When I read it, I kept wanting to stop and try something, for instance, setting up an RSS feed, converting my old audio tapes to MP3 files, and changing my default browser to Mozilla Firefox. (There is some irony here, because this volume is a rousing reaffirmation of the book as an information retrieval device. Its content can be accessed in any order, connect time is free, and you can carry it to the coffee shop.)Journalism schools are struggling these days with the issue of how deeply to let students sink into specialties. The gathering consensus is that everyone should know how to do one thing well but be able to work at least in the margins of the other crafts. But as technology and media economics push us toward platform convergence, a new model emerges: The journalist who is a jack of all trades and master of none, a person who can write, shoot, edit, talk, and look good on camera with a competence that might not be great but is good enough. A good reporter would be redefined as one who is good enough in any medium.If that picture seems too unlikely, we can at least be certain that versatility will be rewarded. And because technology keeps changing, journalism schools might do better if they would focus less on the craft and concentrate on basic theory of mass communication and its effects. Such a concern for first principles might produce more journalists like Mark Briggs, who know how to keep on learning and revising the craft throughout their careers and, as he demonstrates with this volume, help their peers to learn.'

'This booklet comes directly from a series of 15 blog posts I wrote in 2009. My intention was to offer some guidance for journalists who are ready to learn how to transform themselves into multimedia journalists. This series should demystify many of the new options for storytelling that have been made possible by digital tools.If you are a journalist (or a journalism student) who feels like you need to catch up and upgrade your skills, I suggest that you do more than simply read these posts. Put the advice into use immediately—the same day, if possible. Don’t wait! (You’ve waited long enough already.)'

'In 1999, Nora Paul organized a gathering at The Poynter Institute of a group of journalists who were on the cutting edge of computer-assisted reporting at the time.The result was a short book titled "When Nerds and Words Collide,״ featuring chapters from many leaders in data-driven journalism. It also details the beginning of what is now the National Institute of Computer-Assisted Reporting.1989 was a watershed moment for CAR, Paul writes, but a decade later progress on some fronts had stalled. The issues raised by these journalists nearly 15 years ago are many of the same ones facing journalists today: Defining what we do in terms of objectives instead of tools, clarifying the vision and figuring out how to brand and sell itPromoting social science principles into daily practice of journalismIncorporating CAR into all beatsGetting buy-in from top editors and overcoming the cultural lag in the newsroomCreating a structure to collect/analyze data and share it with reporters, making CAR tools easier to use for reportersRethinking education: What should we expect from new journalists?'

'This book is intended to be a useful resource for anyone who thinks that they might be interested in becoming a data journalist, or dabbling in data journalism.Lots of people have contributed to writing it, and through our editorial we have tried to let their different voices and views shine through. We hope that it reads like a rich and informative conversation about what data journalism is, why it is important, and how to do it.Lamentably the act of reading this book will not supply you with a comprehensive repertoire of all if the knowledge and skills you need to become a data journalist. This would require a vast library manned by hundreds of experts able to help answer questions on hundreds of topics. Luckily this library exists and it is called the internet. Instead, we hope this book will give you a sense of how to get started and where to look if you want to go further. Examples and tutorials serve to be illustrative rather than exhaustive.We count ourselves very lucky to have had so much time, energy, and patience from all of our contributors and have tried our best to use this wisely. We hope that - in addition to being a useful reference source - the book does something to document the passion and enthusiasm, the vision and energy of a nascent movement. The book attempts to give a sense of what happens behind the scenes, the stories behind the stories.'

According to the author, 'Each one of the contributors has been handpicked to take part in Inside The Story. They’ve been chosen because they are behind some of the most remarkable digital storytelling on the web and beyond. From the acclaimed California Is A Place series, to MediaStorm’s A Darkness Visible feature and many more inbetween. Almost all of the people you’ll read have won awards for their work, including Emmys, BAFTAs and Webbys.Each contributor has been tasked with sharing advice you don’t read anywhere else. They’ve revealed secrets of the craft that they’ve discovered through hard-won experience alone. And they’ve been given just 200 words to do it. It might not seem like much, but it focuses the mind and their words. This is a book free from waffle.Most of all, this book is about quality. It’s about creating remarkable non-fiction stories that resonate with audiences, surprise and entertain, and connect people to distant, complex issues. All of the contributors produce stories that do just that, and they’re going to tell you how they do it.This isn’t about the basics. It assumes you know how to use equipment, and have had a go at telling a story, however successfully, before. However, even if you’re a complete beginner, you’ll still find this an inspiring guide.In a world where anyone can pick up a camera, start filming and publishing, the only way to stand out is through the hot pursuit of quality over mediocrity; to tell remarkable stories in a remarkable way. Think of this book as an easy to read readyreference to help you do that.'
